Results of a Survey - Twenty years of gender mainstreaming in international organizations (IOs) has produced an international network of gender experts and a distinctive body of expertise on gender relations. Gender experts have led the development of policies, built capacity through training, designed and implemented projects, pioneered new administrative techniques (such as gender budgeting), spearheaded innovative research, and evaluated interventions geared towards advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment. In the process, they have introduced the term gender into international politics, built a body of knowledge about gender relations and women’s subordination, fostered the diffusion of such knowledge internationally and its translation into local contexts. They also have formed networks among themselves, and they recognize each other’s work. In other words, gender expertise has emerged as a professional field.

Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) continues to be a threat to women’s and girls’ health and human rights globally. A sizeable body of evidence has developed over the past three decades on the direct health impacts of FGM/C. However, the evidence has been spread out and detached in diverse research, interventional, and training materials, making it cumbersome for quick reference when responding to women and girls exposed to the health effects of FGM/C. The Africa Coordinating Centre for the Abandonment of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (ACCAF), with support from the Population Council, sought to synthesize the evidence on the health impacts of FGM/C, identify recommended interventions, and compile and analyse the existing reference materials.

“Will the Habitat III New Urban Agenda address housing as a HUMAN RIGHTS issue, and offer a compass that shifts the focus to the poor and marginalised, especially to persons with disabilities, older persons, women, homeless people, internally displaced persons, minorities, indigenous peoples, migrants, and refugees, those who are often marginalized, excluded and left behind?”
